Very thorough process. Process was as follows: 1. Initial application 2. Timed pedagogical assessment 3. 30 Minute interview with a Curriculum Developer 4. In depth script assessment 5. 60 minute interview and feedback session with Pedagogy Managers 6. Offer All communication happened via email and was prompt. Process happened quickly relative to the number of steps.

The interview process included two assessments, a video script writing assignment, two hour-long interviews with two managers, and a reference check. The assessments were timed and focused on student feedback methods, aptitude, and IQ. After completing all of these steps, being asked about a potential start date, and truly hitting it off with the people I interviewed with, I was rejected. I had to email for an update and was told that they were looking for someone more consistent and ready for the role. What gets me is that I have more experience in the field than the people who interviewed me and know I made a really positive impression. The rejection felt both personal and impersonal, like they criticized my experience in a way that did not reflect how my interviews went. It seemed like someone above the people I interviewed with took one look at my resume and judged it without any other information and denied me. I provided context for any job changes on my resume in our interview but it didn’t mean anything. I haven’t experienced a rejection like this from any other company. It felt very baseless, especially after the impression my interviewers gave me regarding my quality of work and alignment with the company. I know they get a lot of applicants, but I truly felt like I fit right in with the staff and they were impressed with my performance throughout each step. I have a lot of ideas for their courses and was very excited to work alongside people who cared about individual growth, but after this experience I don’t know if I’ll apply again.
